Programme

Mette Ingvartsen

Skatepark

Presented in cooperation with Berliner Festspiele

17.–18.8.

Minimum age: 12 years

Duration 80 min

A theatre stage transformed into a skatepark, in which skaters and performers across generations meet for a dance piece: This is the multifaceted setting of a new work of Mette Ingvartsen, investigating the choreographic possibilities of skateboards and roller skates. In the course of trick contests, basketball games, music jam sessions, and innumerable rounds through the parkour of ramps and rails, a community emerges – determined by hard work and nonchalance, collaboration and competition. By featuring skaters from Berlin, “Skatepark” also presents a portrait of the unique characteristics of the local scene.
